Chapter 11 The Cherry Incident(1/2)
Zhenwei Chinese Restaurant on the seventh floor of Grand Park Hotel.
It's dinner time.
At this time, a guest was furious.
"You're really kidding me, aren't you?!"
Lei Zizhou stared angrily, like an angry lion, and his roar broke the peace and tranquility of the restaurant.
In front of the table, seven or eight people, including the manager, foreman, and waiters, stood side by side, shrinking.
The young manager bowed and apologized repeatedly, uneasy and with a smile on his face, "Mr. Lei, if you have any dissatisfaction, just say it, our hotel will try our best to meet your requirements."
"I just want to eat a cherry!"
Lei Zizhou roared.
Having suffered from stomach problems for more than ten years, he has always had a poor appetite and eats very little.
Among the delicious food, delicacies from mountains and seas are all tasteless.
It wasn't until noon that I accompanied my wife to have a meal, and I discovered that the buffet area served a kind of cherry.
Cherries are very special, not only because of their appearance, but also because of their unique and wonderful taste, which whets his appetite and makes him never tire of eating them.
It's hard for outsiders to feel his mood of a long drought.
He specifically asked the restaurant to sell him some cherries.
Unexpectedly, the cherries delivered to his home in the evening were extremely unpalatable, sour and astringent. They were not the kind he would eat for lunch at all.
This is tolerated.
He came to the Grand Park Hotel specifically to spend money, thinking that the restaurant would definitely have supplies.
Whether it is the buffet area or the fruit platter on the menu, they are all sour garbage cherries.
I kept asking the waiter, and the answer was the same as the cherries at noon, there was no difference.
That waiter who didn't wink not only didn't know Lei Zizhou, the boss of Sunshine Real Estate, but he also thought that Lei Zizhou was deliberately looking for trouble!
It added fuel to Lei Zizhou's fire.
The woman on the side looked cold and pointed at the waiter in the corner who lowered her head in fear, "Cherry or something, I will explain later. My husband and I don't want to see her in the restaurant again."
"Yes, yes..." The manager winked at the man quickly, "Get out of here."
The waitress wiped away tears and walked out.
A nearby guest pointed to the cherries on the table and said, "Manager Zhou, these are indeed different from the cherries served at noon."
"It's just that this plate of cherries is simply unpalatable. I really don't understand how you could buy such low-quality fruit."
"If you think the cost is high, you can set the price and sell it as if we can't afford it."
"..."
The guests complained.
There are also children who are distressed and cry out to eat cherries.
The manager just felt that it was unfair. These were Tianxinyuan’s fine cherries, high-end brands, and they cost one or two hundred yuan per catty in supermarkets.
These are of inferior quality and there is nothing better on the market.
He could not understand the dissatisfaction of these guests.
At this time, catering director Lin Chuanfei rushed over in a hurry.
Just arrived in front of Lei Zizhou.
Lei Zizhou grabbed the cherry and threw it at him.
Lin Chuanfei had long heard that Lei Zizhou had a hot temper, so he could only respond with a smile.
There is no way, this man is not just a diamond-level VIP, I can't afford to offend him.
However, Lian Lin Chuanfei is still at a loss as to how someone could get so angry over a mere cherry.
This is the first time I have encountered this kind of thing in my career.
"How the hell did you promise me this?" Lei Zizhou became angry as soon as he saw Lin Chuanfei.
This guy also flattered me on the phone in the afternoon and promised that he would be satisfied.
Lei Zizhou's venting of anger made other guests even more dissatisfied with the hotel.
When Gao Liqin arrived, Lei Zizhou was so angry that he was ready to leave.
"Mr. Lei, I'm really sorry, but everything happened for a reason."
Gao Liqin apologized.
Her appearance barely made Lei Zizhou look better.
The security guard behind him was carrying a small sack of something.
"Look, are these cherries?" Gao Liqin asked the security guard to open the sack and show the contents.
There were 30 kilograms of cherries inside, which she originally planned to take back and share with her relatives and friends.
Brought them all home.
No, as soon as she learned what happened in the restaurant, she rushed back with Yingying.
Gao Liqin never expected that the little cherry would cause such a big stir.
In addition to Lei Zizhou, there were more than 30 customers who complained about the cherries.
"That's right, that's it. It's not gold or jewelry. It's hidden. Why are you making so many excuses?"
Lei Zizhou finally smiled.
His wife also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Alas, the people below misunderstood and thought these were Tianxinyuan cherries. In fact, they bought them from a retail fruit farmer."
"Currently, this is all we have left in the hotel. Xiaolin and the others want to leave it to me, so...well, it's our fault anyway."
"Mr. Lei, and all my friends, we hope for your understanding."
Gao Liqin bowed deeply and apologized to Lei Zizhou and others.
This explanation finally satisfied the guests.
"That's all that's left?" Lei Zizhou frowned.
"Don't worry, I have saved the fruit farmer's phone number, and I will definitely be able to supply it tomorrow. I'll give these to Mr. Lei first. Please forgive me, Mr. Lei rarely has fruits he likes to eat."
Gao Liqin continued.
Lei Zizhou sat down again, completely calmed down his anger, and enjoyed the delicious taste of cherries with a smile on his face.
"They haven't been washed yet. Xiao Lin quickly washed these cherries and served them to Mr. Lei."
"Yes, yes." Lin Chuanfei was relieved.
Not far away, Lan Bingyun stared at all this in stunned silence.
What a magical scene.
…
At seven o'clock in the evening, in the relatively backward Taoyuan Village, the street lights are dim and the villagers rarely have night entertainment activities, so they go to bed early.
In the bedroom, Wangcai was lying on the corner of the bed, chewing on a teething stick.
Ye Xiaofan was lying on the bed, searching for information online.
It would be great if you could set up an online store to sell cherries online and have another sales channel.
However, upon closer inspection, I realized that the online store was in deep trouble.
It requires a lot of money and energy, and the cost is extremely high. It can be done by far more than 30,000 to 50,000 yuan.
"Sigh... 60 yuan per pound is indeed a bit expensive. Without brand effect and celebrity popularity, it is difficult to sell on the Internet."
"If you want to publicize it, it will definitely cost a lot of money."
Ye Xiaofan temporarily gave up the idea of opening an online store.
Suddenly, the phone rang.
A phone number without a note, but somewhat familiar.
"Excuse me...are you a fruit farmer selling cherries?"
A hesitant and pleasant female voice came from the phone.
Jin Feiyang’s mother?
Although until now, Ye Xiaofan only knows that this person's surname is Gao and that assistant's surname is Lan.
The other party obviously didn't know Ye Xiaofan's name either.
